About:
pgxnclient is a command-line interface for managing PostgreSQL extensions from the PostgreSQL Extension Network. It allows users to search, download, build, and install extensions directly from the PGxn repository. This tool simplifies the process of extending PostgreSQL functionality with community-contributed modules.
Key Features:
  • Search and install extensions from PGxn
  • Manage extension versions and dependencies
  • Build and install extensions locally
  • Uninstall extensions cleanly
Use Cases:
  • Installing PostgreSQL extensions like PostGIS or pg_trgm
  • Managing extension versions across different PostgreSQL instances
  • Distributing custom PostgreSQL extensions via PGxn
Alternatives:
  • psql – Built-in PostgreSQL client that can load extensions but doesn't manage discovery or installation from repositories
  • apt/yum package managers – System package managers may have some extensions but lack the comprehensive PGxn repository access
